A DEVELOPMENT OF BLENDED LEARNING WITH THE INTEGRATION OF WEB-BASE INSTRUCTION VIA CLOUD COMPUTING ON BENCH WORK AND THE ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

Abstract

The purposes of this study were to develop and evaluate the quality as well as the efficiency of blended learning with the integration of web-based instruction via cloud computing on bench work and the electronic circuits; to compare pre-test and post-test learning achievement of the students after the experiment. The samples in this study, which were divided into two groups: a group of 30 freshmen studying at The Faculty of Engineering, KMITL, in the academic year 2557, used for testing the efficiency of the instrument and the other group of 30 freshmen studying at The Faculty of Engineering, KMITL, used for comparing learning achievement after the experiment, were obtained by means of Cluster Sampling. The research instruments were blended learning classroom with the integration of web-based instruction via cloud computing, the evaluative questionnaire, and the achievement test. The consistency index (IOC) was reported between 0.67-1.00 while the level of difficulty (P) was between 0.40 - 0.80; the discrimination (R) was between 0.20 - 0.70 while the test reliability (KR 20) was at 0.79. The statistics used in the analysis were mean (), standard deviation (S), and t-test for Dependent Samples.

The result showed that the quality of blended learning with the integration of web-based instruction via cloud computing was at a very good level (= 4.55, S = 0.49) and the quality in media production was at a good level (= 4.67, S = 0.46). It is also found that the efficiency of web-based instruction lessons (E₁/E₂) was 84.17/83.67 respectively, all of which was based on the assumption that it should not be less than80/80 and when compared to the overall learning achievement. It was also revealed that post-test achievement score was higher than that of the pre-test at 0.05 significant level.
